Liking underage girls pics on Instagram

91 replies

swingyourpants79 · 23/07/2020 11:28

Am I being unreasonable to be concerned as I noticed that 2 of my males friends are following a 15 year old girl on Instagram and are both liking and commenting on how 🔥 she is 🤦🏼‍♀️ I don't think they realise she is only 15, but these are 40 year old men! Now they aren't naked pics but some are pretty suggestive and she is a beautiful girl!
Do I just ignore I ever saw and do nothing? I really can't have a conversation with either of them about it, as then I'm just going to look like a weirdo for noticing 😂 (I've had a lot of spare time recently 😂)
Or do I message the girl and suggest she makes it obvious on Instagram that she is 15 !
I know it's not really any of my business, but now I've seen it, I can't get it off my mind! Help!

Grim.

Shame some men are pathetic and deluded.

swingyourpants79 · 23/07/2020 12:57

Yeah agreed it's very creepy! I looked at her name and typed it in google lol!
Thanks for all your comments and advice so far people!

Don't worry I have many other non Pervy mates!

She isn't a massive influencer got a few thousand followers but she isn't famous at all!

Not famous but you found her age? Hmm

That in itself is a little creepy. Why do you follow her OP if shes not famous and you dont follow her?

loobyloo1234 · 23/07/2020 13:59

*know her (not follow her)

GrannyBags · 23/07/2020 14:04

Is there an age restriction on Instagram?

GrannyBags · 23/07/2020 14:07

Also, why can’t you talk to these friends of yours? If you noticed it then surely other people could?

Shamoo · 23/07/2020 14:19

Surely you just message them both if they are friends and say FYI she’s only 15, thought you should know. They are either decent enough blokes and stop, or they are grim as fuck and carry on in which case you know you don’t want a friendship with them.

Is she famous? Or just some random teen on IG?
The men leching, definitely pervy but.... um... you deciding to cyber stalk someone it sounds like you don't know and get her age from google is pretty disturbing too!

Just seen this - glad it's not just me who's confused! If they're not famous, and you don't know her in RL either, why would their age be on the internet easily found? Non famous not like they'd have their own Wiki page, is it Confused

Nottherealslimshady · 23/07/2020 14:27

Talk to the men about their behaviour! Reply to their comment "jeez Paul she's 15!" Of course they know she's young.

Yep I know it's weird lol! I was having an Instagram stalk! So you have never done that?

Some girls of that age do look older but if you thought she was, a teenager then that's not the case.
I'd ask them if they know how old she is but unfortunately they'll probably carry on. Yes it's wrong and creepy.
It's why I don't let my teens have Instagram, too many weirdos out there.

ArseiMcArseFace · 23/07/2020 15:27

Ugh. You need friends who aren't perverts.

loobyloo1234 · 23/07/2020 15:29

Not on a 15 year olds profile - and then googled her age after, even though shes a random non famous teenager

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 23/07/2020 15:32

Bit of difference having a nosey on someone's profile to finding their age - if they're not famous, just some random Jo Bloggs, why would their age randomly be out there?
You must have done some serious snooping on personal data records to even do that Confused

Did you even read the full post? I don't follow her, I don't know her, I looked at who my mate was following and thought she looked a bit young, in fact it unsettled me so much I thought I would look in to it. Then I saw another person I know who follows her!

Sad that you think what I did is worse than a 40 odd year old man liking half naked suggestive pics of an underage teen!

He may realise but I don't think he does, he isn't bright enough to check it out! Or he is a pedo, but I just think he hasn't realised! If someone else saw, it could potentially ruin his life!

Anyway! Go and miss the point somewhere else! 👍🏻👋🏻

Maybe she doesn't want you to intervene. If she's posting suggestive pictures on an open IG account then she wants to accrue this sort of following.

I'd move to get the account shut down for her own good. It's all very well saying blame the men, she can post what she likes, but she's putting that content out there and obviously doesn't know any better. She's a minor and needs to be protected.

BunningAndStrave · 23/07/2020 15:43

a 40 odd year old man liking half naked suggestive pics of an underage teen!

How does the law work with regards to sharing pictures of child pornography if its the child themselves posting it?

Chocoholic12 · 23/07/2020 15:44

Really concerning your friends comment on a childs pictures. Hope they don't private message her innapropriate stuff saying she is hot or anything, they could get deemed o be peodophiles.

Mammyloveswine · 23/07/2020 15:44

I'm guessing if she's posing provocatively in her thong they don't realise she is only 15! Especially as her photos will no doubt be heavily filtered with heavy make up!

I'm a bit Hmm as to how you found her age by googling her if she's not famous???

Just say I notice that you follow so and so (say she came up as a suggestion due to mutual friends) and you realise she's only 15.

Keep it casual, they'll likely be mortified! My husband would be horrified!

loobyloo1234 · 23/07/2020 15:45

Did you even read the full post?

Yes. And you said everything I said there. You went onto her profile. Stalked your pervert friends liking her photos. And then googled her to find her age. Why are you making out that its normal? Its not

Mammyloveswine · 23/07/2020 15:47

Also it wasn't that long ago that the red tops counted down the days until school girls turned 16 so they could pose on page 3... (thank god those days are gone! Hideous that it even happened!)

But accounts need to be called out as unacceptable in the way that a 16 year old on page 3 would be now!

Instagram should not allow such pictures!

blosstree · 23/07/2020 15:52

Even if people think the OP having an Instagram stalk is a bit weird, why on EARTH are you focusing on that rather than 40 year old men saying they think a 15 year old girl is hot?! That is an actual problem!

But oh yeah focus on the nosy woman instead, that's much worse Confused It isn't that hard to find someone's age on the internet if you know their name.

loobyloo1234 · 23/07/2020 15:59

No ones focused on that without saying they would call her friends out @blosstree - which I would if it were my friends
